Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can negatively impact intimacy, relationships, and sexual functioning through changes in physical, endocrine, cognitive, behavioral, and emotional function. Without intervention, diminished intimacy and/or sexual functioning in individuals with TBI may persist. Although most health care professionals agree that sexuality and intimacy in relationships are significant concerns and should be addressed in rehabilitation, these concerns are not typically discussed during rehabilitation and discharge planning for people with TBI. To address this gap, an expert panel of North American clinicians and researchers convened to develop evidence-informed recommendations to assist clinicians in providing a framework and guidance on how clinicians can support individuals after TBI. METHODS A systematic search of multiple databases was conducted to identify relevant evidence published from 2010 to 2023. The INTIMASY-TBI Expert Panel developed recommendations for optimizing discussions and interventions related to intimacy and sexuality for people with TBI in rehabilitation and community-based programs. For each recommendation, the experts evaluated the evidence by examining the study design and quality to determine the level of evidence. RESULTS A total of 12 recommendations were developed that address the following topic areas: (1) interprofessional team training, (2) early education on the effects of TBI on intimacy, relationships, and sexuality, (3) creating individualized interventions, (4) education, assessment, and management of the causes of sexual dysfunction, and (5) providing written materials and relationship coaching to persons with TBI and their partners. Two recommendations were supported by Level A evidence, 1 was supported by Level B evidence, and 9 were supported by Level C (consensus of the INTIMASY-TBI Expert Panel) evidence. A decision algorithm was developed to assist clinicians in navigating through the recommendations. CONCLUSION The INTIMASY-TBI Guideline is one of the first comprehensive clinical practice guidelines to offer strategies to trained clinicians to discuss the physical, psychosocial, behavioral, and emotional aspects of intimacy and sexuality with persons with TBI.

Abstract
AIM To explore the perceived barriers experienced by rehabilitation case managers to discussing sexual function with clients after a traumatic injury, at the point of initial assessment. Study design: Small-scale semi-structured interviews were conducted to inform baseline measures for a service improvement proposal within the author's employing company. A qualitative phenomenological methodology was used for the interpretation of the data, with application of framework analysis. FINDINGS Case managers within the company do not routinely ask clients about issues of sexual dysfunction at the initial assessment of rehabilitation needs. Identified inhibitors included the client's age, cultural background, the presence of other people during the assessment, embarrassment for either party, or any apparent reservations about the assessment process for the client. These echoed findings from the wider healthcare literature. Prompts to initiating conversations were also identified, including the nature of injury or the openness of the client. CONCLUSION In their holistic assessment of clients' rehabilitation needs, and as part of the development of the therapeutic relationship, case managers are ideally situated to encourage conversations concerning issues of sexual dysfunction with clients, having the opportunity to signpost them to the most appropriate support or to facilitate referrals for treatment.

Abstract
Following acquired brain injury (ABI), sexuality, self-esteem and practices are often negatively impacted. Whilst sexuality is recognized as an essential part of a person's life regardless of medical condition, it is poorly understood in the ABI rehabilitation context. This study examined current assessment and treatment practices for sexual health and wellbeing in ABI rehabilitation, including perceived barriers and facilitators to discussing sexuality with individuals after ABI. We also assessed the need for further education and training in this area. Two hundred and thirty-nine Australian healthcare professionals predominantly working with both traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke populations completed an online survey comprising thirty-four questions. The 12-item sexuality attitudes and beliefs survey (SABS) was included as an additional objective outcome measure. Findings suggest that healthcare professionals infrequently raise sexuality with individuals with ABI. Inadequate education and training, not knowing whose role it is and when to raise the topic, and the view that individuals with ABI will ask for the information were all identified as key barriers contributing to poor sexuality management after ABI. More education and training opportunities with greater access to resources are needed to facilitate the incorporation of sexuality into routine practice across the continuum of ABI care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burn injury was shown to affect a patient's sexuality. Cultural and social inhibitions may mean this topic is often overlooked. AIMS To assess current opinion and management strategies amongst UK burns care teams in relation to addressing sexual function after burn injuries. METHOD An online questionnaire was circulated to all members of the British Burn Association. RESULTS The majority of UK burn care professionals reported that sexual function after burn injury was an important (79% of respondents) and unaddressed problem (85% of respondents) in current clinical practice. However, over 90% of professionals reported that they 'never' or 'only occasionally' ask patients about their sexual function concerns. Multiple different management strategies are employed by UK burns centers, with a number of respondents indicating no designated individual responsible for leading care in this area. CONCLUSIONS Currently no standardized method is in common use to address sexual function concerns of adult burns victims. The authors suggest this topic may be included in future information leaflets for patients and in burns awareness courses for medical professionals.

Abstract
Sexual performance refers to activities served by sexual capacity and motivation. As a culturally sensitive issue, to date the scalar invariance of sexual performance has not been examined for Iranians with spinal cord injuries (SCIs). Aim: To develop and assess properties of an instrument evaluating sexual performance of an Iranian population with SCIs., in Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Research Center (BASIR), Neuroscience Institute, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Using multi-modal methods, we developed and assessed the Sexual Performance Questionnaire (SPQ). This included collecting expert opinions; engaging with patients with SCI referred to BASIR; pilot testing to assess the scale; and a formal investigation. Participants (men = 156, women = 58) completed the SPQ. Internal consistency and reliability were measured using Cronbach's α coefficient. Content and face validity were examined by academic experts. Construct validity was assessed by examining convergent and discriminant validity. Finally, exploratory factor analysis was used to extract the factor structure of the questionnaire. The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.77. There was a significant (p = 0.04) correlation (r = - 0.23) between the SPQ score and age. Those with a partner scored higher (p = 0.001). We found three components: Spouse as initiator, self-initiation, and genital-oriented sex which accounted for 59% of the observed variance. The face and content validity was approved by an expert committee. The development and application of the 13-item SPQ provides a thorough understanding of sexual performance amongst persons with SCI. It facilitates the development of efficient sexual rehabilitation interventions and SCI-specific sexuality education programs.

Sexual activity and romantic relationships after burn injury: A Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (LIBRE) study. Burns 2020; 46:1556-1564. [PMID: 32948357 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2020.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2019] [Revised: 01/10/2020] [Accepted: 01/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Engaging in healthy sexual activity and romantic relationships are important but often neglected areas of post-burn rehabilitation. The degree to which persons with burn injuries engage in sexual activity and romantic relationships is not well understood. This study examined demographic and clinical characteristics predicting engagement in sexual activity and romantic relationships in a sample of adult burn survivors compared to a general United States sample. METHODS Data for the adult burn survivor sample were from 601 adult burn survivors who participated in field-testing for the calibration of the Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (LIBRE) Profile, a burn-specific instrument assessing social participation on six scales including sexual activity and romantic relationships. Comparison data were obtained from a general population sample of 2000 adults through sample matching. Demographic predictors of sexual activity and romantic relationship status were examined in each sample using modified Poisson regression analyses. Clinical predictors of engaging in sexual activity and romantic relationships were also examined in the LIBRE sample. RESULTS Participants were slightly more likely to report being sexually active in the adult burn survivor sample than in the general sample (65% vs. 57%, p < 0.01). There was not a significant difference in romantic relationship status between the two samples (64% vs. 62%, p = 0.31). In multivariable regression analyses, men in both samples were more likely to report being in a sexual relationship (RR in LIBRE sample = 1.23, 95% CI 1.08-1.39; RR in general sample = 1.10, 95% CI 1.02-1.18). Participants in both samples who were not working were less likely to report being sexually active or in a romantic relationship (RRs ranging from 0.73 to 0.83, p < 0.05 for all estimates). In the adult burn survivor sample, respondents with hand burns were more likely to report being sexually active and in a romantic relationship (RR = 1.16, 95% CI 1.01-1.33). Time since burn injury, burn size, and burns to other critical areas were not significantly associated with either outcome in adjusted analyses. CONCLUSIONS The likelihood of engaging in sexual activity and romantic relationships is similar among adult burn survivors and the comparison group representing a general United States sample of adults. Further research addressing sexual activity and romantic relationships after burn injuries will help to foster better patient-clinician dialogue, pinpoint barriers, design interventions, and allocate appropriate resources.

Abstract
Genital sensation (GS) is an essential component of male sexual function. Genital sensory disturbance (GSD) caused by spinal cord injury (SCI) has a severe impact on the patients' sexual function but has garnered little research focus. Under normal conditions, GS encompasses the erection, ejaculation, sexual arousal, and orgasm courses associated with physiological and psychological responses in male sexual activity. However, in SCI patients, the deficiency of GS makes the tactile stimulation of the penis unable to cause sexual arousal, disturbs the normal processes of erection and ejaculation, and decreases sexual desire and satisfaction. To provide an overview of the contemporary conception and management of male GS after SCI, we review the innervation and sexual function of male GS in this article, discuss the effects of GSD following SCI, and summarize the current diagnosis and treatment of GSD in male SCI patients.

Abstract
Burn injury can be debilitating and affect survivors' quality of life in a profound fashion. Burn injury may also lead to serious psychosocial challenges that have not been adequately studied and addressed. Specifically, there has been limited research into the associations of burn injury on community reintegration based on gender. This work analyzed data from 601 burn survivors who completed field testing of a new measure of social participation for burn survivors, the Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (LIBRE) Profile. Differences in item responses between men and women were examined. Scores on the six LIBRE Profile scales were then compared between men and women using analysis of variance and adjusted linear multivariate regression modeling. Overall, men scored significantly better than women on four of the six LIBRE Profile scales: Sexual Relationships, Social Interactions, Work & Employment, and Romantic Relationships. Differences were not substantially reduced after adjustment for demographic characteristics and burn size. Men scored better than women in most of the areas measured by the LIBRE Profile. These gender differences are potentially important for managing burn patients during the post-injury recovery period.
